Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Democrat from Massachusetts demeaned President Trump’s decide to be Secretary of Protection.
She dismissed Pete Hegseth as only a weekend discuss present host and stated he was unqualified to guide the Pentagon.
“A Fox & Associates weekend co-host isn’t certified to be the Secretary of Protection,” Sen. Warren wrote on X. “All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect each one in every of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s decide will make us much less protected and should be rejected.”
Whoppi Goldberg, one of many gals on ABC’s The View stated that Hegseth “clearly doesn’t know something in regards to the army”
So, let’s dissect the Left’s argument, however full disclosure – Pete is a buddy of mine.
It’s true that Hegseth is the longtime co-host of the weekend version of Fox & Associates. It’s the primary morning present on cable tv.
However that’s not why President-elect Trump picked Pete.
He’s a fight veteran – who served as an infantry officer in Afghanistan and Iraq and Guantanamo Bay. When he returned to the states he headed up an effort to assist veterans. Involved Veterans for America.

Pete can be an Ivy League grad – with levels from Princeton and Harvard. To not point out he wrote a New York Instances bestseller.
Married. The daddy of seven. Not a foul resume for a 44-year-old.
So, why are the women on The View and the parents at MSNBC and CNN foaming on the mouth?
Effectively, it seems that Hegseth believes the army ought to be about blowing issues up and killing the enemy – not staging drag exhibits on nuclear submarines and providing protected areas for pronoun-confused troopers.
Hegseth can be a agency believer that girls shouldn’t be serving in fight roles. And you may count on Hegseth to declare warfare on woke generals.
“Effectively, to begin with, you bought to fireplace, you already know, you bought to fireplace the chairman of the Joint Chiefs,” he stated on the “Shawn Ryan Show” podcast simply final week. “Any normal that was concerned, normal, admiral, no matter that was concerned in any of the DEI woke s***, it’s obtained to go.”
In his guide, “Warfare on Warriors,” Hegseth warned readers in regards to the Pentagon’s left-wing ideology.
“It’s one factor when a company or college goes woke. It’s a wholly totally different factor for america army to go woke,” he wrote.
And you may depend his bosses at Fox Information Channel as amongst his finest followers.
“Pete Hegseth has been an distinctive host on Fox & Associates and Fox Nation and a best-selling writer for Fox Information Books for practically a decade,” the community wrote in an announcement to Leisure Tonight. “His insights and evaluation particularly in regards to the army resonated deeply with our viewers and made this system the most important success that it’s at the moment. We’re extraordinarily happy with his work at Fox Information Media and want him the very best of luck in Washington.”
I’d be curious to know what makes Senator Warren – who has no army expertise – assume she has extra experience than a fight veteran who was awarded two Bronze Stars. It appears to me Pocahontas is approach off the reservation on this one, people.
